I think the key is that you must shut off the FLARM, then insert the
USB memory stick, then turn the FLARM back on and it downloads the just
flown flight log. I flew with my PowerFLarm for the first time last
summer, did this action, and every log was transfered to the USB memory
stick and I posted them that evening on OLC.


A standard FLARM typically holds up to the last ten flight logs in its
internal memory. If its an LX RedBox FLARM, when you put the SD card in
and turn it on, ALL the logs that aren't already recorded on the card are
written to it. The red LED flashes while its doing this. Its quite slow,
taking noticeably more time to write several logs than just one.

Since all FLARMs run the same software, they should all do the same. I'd
be surprised if the PowerFLARM doesn't do it too.
